Merge iConnect Access to replace WebPACS radiology image viewer

On Saturday, Aug. 13 at 7 a.m., the web-based radiology image viewer for MiChart, also known as WebPACS, will be replaced by the Merge iConnect Access (Merge iCA) viewer. Merge iCA is a web-based viewer that was necessary to implement in order for the upcoming MiChart Go-Live scheduled for Oct. 8.

Improvements introduced by Merge iCA include:

The support of modern browsers.

Improved access to older ultrasound studies.

The ability for users to launch directly into a study without having to choose from the entire list of patient studies.

Merge iCA’s initial sizing for approximately 18 months of studies while the old viewer held a maximum of two and a half months. Approximately three months of studies will be pre-loaded on Aug. 13.

There are a few functionality changes and known issues, which MCIT teams are working diligently to address. Please see the Merge iConnect Access tip sheet to see the issues, impacts and current solutions.
